Define "Food"

There are several challenges out there right now with a food theme. I don't have a lot of food stamps, but I do have beer stamps. I even have a Christmas beer stamp! Now, beer is made with grain, and bread is made with grain, so beer is food. Also, depending on how dysfunctional your family is, beer may be a major food category at some gatherings. Just sayin'.

So in my world, beer is close enough to food to enter these challenges. Here's my card, then I'll explain:

You can never go wrong with Gus or Stella, right? Since I'm allergic to digital images most days, this one is a clear stamp from Totally Stampalicious, which sadly no longer exists. Gus has done his part to define beer as a food item.

I colored everything with Copics, put the cards together, then couldn't decide which sentiment to use, so I didn't decide! I made two cards. Here's the other one:


After the white panels were put on the red bases, I colored in the white parts of the hat with a Souffle pen, and covered his glasses with Glossy Accents. He's appropriately grumpy. Or happy. Yeah, after that many beers, he's happy.

I'm entering this card (these cards) into three challenges:

Jingle Belles - Christmas Feast, to feature food or drink. I've got drink!
Cardz 4 Guyz - Food and Drink Again with the drink part.
CAS-ology: Eat See above for definition of beer as food. :)


Thanks for stopping by!

Stuff I used: Totally Stampalicious Gus stamp (here's the link to the digi version of the stamp at Bugaboo), and the following:

  10. I do love a punny card, and this sure fits the bill! I think the "eat" in the saying "Eat, drink and be merry" is implied, right? Totally fits the cue! Thanks for joining us at CASology!
